MEAT CONTROL BOARD.
EXPENSIVE ELECTIONS
£479 FOR TWO MEMBERS
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.) W ELLINGTON, Thursdav.
According to Mr. H. G. Dickie (Patea) it costs £479 to elect two members of the Meat Control Board, which was too expensive, he remarked in the House tonight. If the board did only one-half the -work it claimed, then it* had some excuse for its existence. He was in the meat business and knew something about it. The eight members cost the producers £444 each annually. There should be smaller boards for meat and dairv produce. Though the Dairy Board had a cheaper method of election, it had twelve members, but seven would be enough. Mr. W. A. Veitcli (Wanganui): Would you abolish it? Mr. Dickie: No, I consider both boards have done good, but not as much as they claim.
